We start at the foot of the Kirkstone Pass |
|
 |
|
| We are not going there! | |
 |
|
| Colin is our leader | |
 |
|
|
Brothers Water. |
|
 |
|
| A lovely situation | |
 |
|
| Long island?. | |
 |
|
| A tree monster | |
 |
|
| A few ups and downs | |
 |
|
| Colourful gardens | |
 |
|
| Plants suited to the acidic soil | |
 |
|
| What a backdrop | |
 |
|
| An easy path | |
 |
|
| Flat bottoms | |
 |
|
| What are these? | |
 |
|
| We are approaching the village of Patterdale | |
 |
|
| And its church | |
 |
|
| We climb up with river rushing below | |
 |
|
| Wonder how they are getting on at Striding Edge? Looks wet up there | |
 |
|
| We are happy enough | |
 |
|
| Bluebells about to be shaded out by bracken in June | |
 |
|
| Nearly there John | |
 |
|
| We reach a viewpoint | |
 |
|
| For a pleasant break | |
 |
|
| We descend with views over Ullswater | |
 |
|
| Towards Glenridding | |
 |
|
| Soft grass to walk on | |
 |
|
| And a shot for the album | |
 |
|
| Different weather at the lakeside | |
 |
|
| We meet up with the other groups for refreshments before the bus takes us back. |
